When summertime comes, school is out and this concern could take a back seat. This shouldn&#8217;t be the case however. Summer is the perfect time to assess or re-assess your child&#8217;s needs.<\/p>\n<p>BEFORE DOING ANYTHING, YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR CHILD&#8217;S PHYSICIAN FOR ADVICE AND GUIDANCE. THIS ARTICLE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION ONLY.<\/p>\n<p>Children with ADD\/ADHD should have regular medical check- ups. This may be a good time for a re- evaluation of your child&#8217;s condition and medications. If you are thinking of stopping medications for the summer, this may be an appropriate time for a trial run. Also, if your child&#8217;s sleep, eating habits and other daily activities are affected by his medications, you may want to consider an adjustment for the summer. A summer camp for children with ADD could help your child acquire new skills that can be applied during the next school year.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to consult your child&#8217;s doctor before altering or stopping any current regimes. But with the help of your physician and other support resources, your child can have a healthy, happy and productive summer!<\/p>\n<p><em><em>For 25 years,\u00a0<a title=\"Back to Basics Learning Dynamics\" href=\"https:\/\/backtobasicslearning.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Back to Basics<\/a> has been recognized as\u00a0the area\u2019s undisputed leader in one-on-one tutoring.
